to find out if surface area affects reaction rate‚ and this experiment proved that surface area in fact does affect reaction rate. My experiment used a berocca tablet that was either cut into sections or left whole‚ the smaller fractions had a larger surface area as there was more area to cover‚ the pieces were then put into water to see what sized tablet reacted to the water the fastest. My hypothesis was supported as it was proven that the smaller pieces which had a larger surface area were much

Surface Tension Steven Brignol Dr. Payne September 15 Introduction: Water’s ability to stick to itself is surface tension. In this lab we were able to measure and detect surface tension by dropping water‚ drop by drop‚ onto a penny. The quantity of droplets that fit on the penny was impressive. Hypothesis: The detergent will thicken the water making a tighter surface tension. Prediction: If soap increased the surface tension‚ then expansion will happen. Materials: (1) Pipette (2) Water

12. Provide a description of a cell surface specialization. A cell surface specialization can be defined as an extension of the cell surface which performs a specific function for a larger organ or tissue. Examples of cell surface specializations include microvilli‚ cilia‚ stereocilia‚ and goblet cells. Microvilli can be described as tiny finger-like folds made of microfilaments in the cell membrane‚ and functions to increase surface area for absorption. Cilia are longer‚ more hair-like projections
